Last updated: 16 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how FRENZY HAUS processes personal data when you visit or use FRENZY HAUS, FRENZY Magazine and the related websites and digital services, including frenzyhaus.com and frenzymagazine.com.

It covers, in particular, website access, contact and editorial submissions, newsletter registrations, website search, analytics, shopping functions, affiliate links, advertising and embedded third-party content.

Independent third-party websites and services that you choose to visit are governed by their own privacy policies.

1. CONTROLLER

The controller responsible for processing personal data within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is:

Noah Cruz
trading as FRENZY HAUS

Email: office@frenzyhaus.com
Website: frenzyhaus.com

FRENZY HAUS is the publishing house behind FRENZY Magazine.

Privacy enquiries and requests concerning personal data may be sent to:

office@frenzyhaus.com

2. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PROCESSING

We process personal data only where necessary to operate, secure and improve our websites and services, publish FRENZY Magazine, respond to communications and submissions, provide shopping functions, deliver newsletters, measure website use, display advertising and operate editorial and commercial relationships.

Depending on how you use our services, the data processed may include:

IP address and technical connection data;
browser, device and operating-system information;
requested pages and URLs;
referrer information;
timestamps and security data;
contact information;
names and email addresses;
correspondence and messages;
editorial or business submissions;
uploaded files and portfolio links;
newsletter registration information;
consent and preference records;
search terms;
shopping and order information;
affiliate referral information;
advertising-related information; and
aggregated website and audience statistics.

The principal legal bases for processing are:

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR – consent;
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract;
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – compliance with legal obligations; and
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interests, including secure website operation, editorial work, communication, fraud prevention, administration and the operation of our publishing business.

Storage of information on, or access to information already stored on, your device is additionally governed by Section 25 TDDDG. Non-essential storage or access generally requires prior consent; storage or access that is strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user may be permitted without such consent.

3. WEBSITE HOSTING AND FRAMER

Our websites are created, hosted and delivered using services provided by:

Framer B.V.
Rozengracht 207B
1016 LZ Amsterdam
The Netherlands

Framer processes personal data on our behalf as a processor under a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

When our websites are accessed, Framer and its authorised subprocessors may process technical information necessary to deliver and protect the website, including:

IP address;
date and time of access;
requested URL;
referrer URL;
browser information;
device information;
operating system;
response status; and
transferred data volume.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the secure, stable and efficient operation of our websites and publication.

Technical information is retained only for as long as required for website operation, security, troubleshooting, compliance with legal obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

4. FRAMER ANALYTICS

We use Framer's built-in privacy-focused website analytics.

Framer Analytics does not rely on traditional analytics cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. Framer may calculate daily unique visitors using technical information such as IP address and user-agent data in a privacy-preserving manner.

We may receive aggregated information such as:

page views;
unique visits;
popular pages;
traffic sources;
countries; and
device categories.

We use this information to understand the performance and use of FRENZY's websites.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in measuring and improving our digital publication.

This does not apply to additional third-party advertising, plugins, embeds or integrations, which may require consent separately.

5. CONTACT, EDITORIAL SUBMISSIONS AND BUSINESS ENQUIRIES

If you contact FRENZY HAUS or FRENZY Magazine by email or through a website form, we process the information you provide.

This may include:

your name;
email address;
telephone number;
organisation;
professional position;
message;
attachments;
photographs;
portfolio or social-media links;
press materials;
editorial pitches;
commercial enquiries; and
submission metadata.

Where forms are provided through Framer, Framer's form infrastructure may process this information on our behalf.

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the communication concerns a contract or steps requested before entering into a contract.

In other cases, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries, conducting editorial activity, evaluating submissions, maintaining professional relationships and operating FRENZY HAUS.

Where retention is required by law, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information or confidential information concerning third parties unless it is genuinely necessary and you are authorised to provide it.

6. NEWSLETTER

If you subscribe to a FRENZY newsletter, we process the information required to administer your subscription.

This will generally include:

your email address;
registration time;
confirmation status;
consent record; and
technical information necessary to document the registration.

Newsletter marketing is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Where double opt-in is used, you must confirm your email address before the subscription becomes active.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by using the unsubscribe link contained in the newsletter or by contacting:

office@frenzyhaus.com

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

After unsubscribing, your email address may be retained on a suppression list where necessary to ensure that further marketing emails are not sent to you.

Consent documentation may be retained for the period required to demonstrate compliance with legal obligations.

If FRENZY uses an external newsletter delivery provider, the provider will process subscriber information in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

7. WEBSITE SEARCH

If you use search functions on FRENZY Magazine or FRENZY HAUS, your search query may be processed to return relevant results and protect the service against misuse.

Search terms are not used by FRENZY HAUS to create an individual behavioural profile.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in providing useful site navigation and search functionality.

8. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Our websites may use technically necessary technologies required to provide functions requested by users, maintain security, remember privacy preferences and operate website forms.

Under Section 25(2) TDDDG, consent is not required where access to or storage of information on a user's device is strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by that user.

Optional cookies, advertising technologies, tracking technologies, pixels or comparable technologies are used only where legally permitted.

Where consent is required, those technologies remain inactive until you have made a corresponding choice.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the website's privacy or cookie settings where such technologies are enabled.

Rejecting optional technologies will not prevent access to the editorial content of FRENZY Magazine, although individual third-party functions may be unavailable.

9. SHOPIFY AND FRENZY SHOP

FRENZY may provide online shopping functions using services supplied by Shopify.

When you access shopping functions, view products, add products to your cart, begin checkout or purchase a product, Shopify and the providers involved in fulfilling the transaction may process information necessary to provide those services.

Depending on the transaction, this may include:

name;
billing address;
shipping address;
email address;
telephone number;
IP address;
device information;
products viewed;
cart information;
order information;
transaction information;
delivery information; and
payment-related information.

Payment information may be processed directly by Shopify or the payment provider selected during checkout. FRENZY HAUS does not necessarily receive complete payment-card information.

Processing necessary to complete your purchase is based primarily on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Processing required to comply with accounting, tax and commercial retention requirements is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Fraud prevention, shop security and business administration may additionally be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Optional analytics, marketing or advertising technologies associated with the shop are subject to consent where required.

Shopify and individual payment, shipping or other service providers may also process personal data under their own privacy notices where they act as independent controllers.

10. ADVERTISING AND GOOGLE ADSENSE

FRENZY may display advertising, including advertising supplied through Google AdSense or related Google advertising services.

Where advertising functionality uses cookies, local storage, advertising identifiers or other non-essential technologies, such technologies are activated only after consent where required by law.

Depending on your consent choices and the configuration of the advertising service, Google and its partners may process information such as:

IP address;
browser and device information;
page viewed;
advertising interactions;
approximate location derived from technical information;
consent preferences; and
advertising identifiers.

Where personalised advertising is enabled, it may involve additional processing based on your consent.

Where consent is required, the legal basis for the associated processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR together with Section 25(1) TDDDG.

You may withdraw your consent through the website's cookie or privacy settings.

Where advertising is delivered without personalisation, processing may still involve technical data necessary to deliver, secure and measure the advertisement.

11. AFFILIATE LINKS

Some links published by FRENZY may be affiliate links.

An affiliate link can contain an identifier indicating that a visitor originated from FRENZY. If you follow such a link, the external retailer or affiliate network may process information concerning the referral and any subsequent transaction.

FRENZY may receive information such as:

referral counts;
transaction references;
purchased product categories;
transaction value; and
commission information.

FRENZY does not receive your complete payment-card details from an external retailer merely because an affiliate link was used.

Our use of ordinary affiliate links and aggregated reporting may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in financing our editorial activities.

Where affiliate attribution requires non-essential access to information on your device, consent will be obtained where required by Section 25 TDDDG.

External retailers and affiliate networks process personal data in accordance with their own privacy notices.

12. EMBEDDED CONTENT AND SOCIAL MEDIA

FRENZY may link to or embed content from external platforms such as:

Instagram;
TikTok;
YouTube;
X;
Spotify;
Pinterest; and
other media or social platforms.

An ordinary link to an external platform does not by itself establish a connection to that platform before you click it.

Once you follow an external link, the relevant platform processes information under its own privacy rules.

Directly embedded social posts, videos, audio players or similar third-party content may establish connections to the external provider and transmit technical information.

Where such a connection is not strictly necessary and requires consent, the external content will remain blocked until consent has been provided.

Social platforms may also provide FRENZY with aggregated statistics concerning profile visitors, followers, content performance or audience characteristics.

13. PLUGINS AND THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS

Third-party plugins and integrations are not automatically covered by Framer's native privacy-focused analytics.

Such services may communicate with external providers and may use:

cookies;
pixels;
SDKs;
external network requests;
browser storage; or
other tracking technologies.

Before a third-party technology requiring consent is activated, appropriate information will be provided and consent will be obtained where required.

14. RECIPIENTS AND PROCESSORS

Personal data may be disclosed where necessary to:

Framer B.V. and its authorised subprocessors;
Shopify and providers involved in operating the shop;
newsletter service providers;
payment processors;
delivery and fulfilment providers;
Google where advertising services are enabled;
service providers operating consent-management functionality;
professional advisers;

legal advisers;
IT and security providers;
editorial collaborators;
photographers and production partners;
affiliate networks;
business partners; and
public authorities where required by law.

Recipients receive personal data only to the extent necessary for the relevant purpose and subject to applicable data-protection requirements.

15. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some service providers or their subprocessors may process personal data outside Germany or outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the EEA, we rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism where required by Chapter V GDPR.

These mechanisms may include:

an adequacy decision by the European Commission;
the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable to a certified recipient; or
European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses together with supplementary safeguards where necessary.

16. RETENTION

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for as long as retention is required by law.

Retention periods depend on the type of information and processing involved.

Website and security data:
Technical information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for website delivery, troubleshooting, security and legal compliance.

Contact and business correspondence:
Communications are generally retained until the relevant matter has been completed and may subsequently be retained where necessary for documentation, contractual purposes or legal claims.

Editorial submissions:
Editorial correspondence and material may be retained where necessary for evaluating, commissioning, producing or documenting editorial work.

Newsletter information:
Subscription information is retained while the subscription remains active. Consent records may be retained after withdrawal where necessary to demonstrate compliance.

Orders and transactions:
Information relating to purchases may be retained for statutory accounting, tax and commercial retention periods.

Consent records:
Privacy and cookie choices may be retained where necessary to document compliance and respect your preferences.

Once personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymised unless continued retention is required by law.

17. YOUR RIGHTS

Subject to the requirements and limitations of the GDPR, you have the right to:

request access to your personal data under Article 15 GDPR;
request correction of inaccurate data under Article 16 GDPR;
request erasure under Article 17 GDPR;
request restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR;
receive certain data in a portable format under Article 20 GDPR;
object to processing under Article 21 GDPR; and
withdraw consent at any time under Article 7(3) GDPR.

Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing, you may object to that processing at any time.

Withdrawal of consent applies only for the future and does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

To exercise your rights, contact:

office@frenzyhaus.com

We may request information reasonably necessary to confirm your identity before fulfilling a request.

18. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

FRENZY HAUS does not currently make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals solely through automated processing within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

19. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority, particularly in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or the location of the alleged infringement.

The supervisory authority responsible for FRENZY HAUS in Rhineland-Palatinate is:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz
Hintere Bleiche 34
55116 Mainz
Germany

Email: poststelle@datenschutz.rlp.de
Website: datenschutz.rlp.de

20. SECURITY

FRENZY HAUS uses appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.

Nevertheless, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can guarantee absolute security.

21. CHILDREN

FRENZY's websites are intended for a general audience and are not specifically directed at children under the age of 16.

Where consent is relied upon in relation to an information-society service offered directly to a child, the requirements of applicable data-protection law regarding minors apply.

We do not knowingly request newsletter marketing consent directly from children where the legally required authorisation has not been obtained.

22. EXTERNAL WEBSITES

FRENZY's websites may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

Once you leave a FRENZY website, the relevant third party is responsible for its own processing of personal data.

We encourage users to review the privacy information of external services before providing personal information.

23. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to:

FRENZY's websites;
technical infrastructure;
service providers;
shop functionality;
advertising;
editorial services;
legal requirements; or
our processing activities.

The current version and its update date will remain available on this page.

Material changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
